I/O protection

Requirement Identifier SC_M_R_ioProtection

Name: I/O protection

Text: All external signals of the hardware components belonging to the PlanCTTM System shall be protected against the following events:

Rationale: Voltage or current spikes generated by an ESD event or by inadequate use of the I/O ports of device can damage the internal circuitry. All I/O signals that are user accessible or noise sensitive because of the long sensor cables shall be protected against these events.

Level | Type | Subtype: Subcomponent Requirement | Mandatory | Reliability Requirement

Source: With the usage of I/O protection devices such as Transient Voltage Suppressors can significantly increase the reliability of a noise sensitive device. (Nemeth, Peter)
